Ece Su Atakan is the founder of La Reine d’Art. Combining her intellectual interest in art history with her professional experience in the international art market, she works across curatorial practice, art advisory, and cross-cultural artistic projects.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Art and Film History from Université Lumière Lyon 2 and an MBA in Art Business from ICART Paris. Her academic background brings together a strong intellectual foundation in art history, aesthetics, visual culture, and artistic movements with an understanding of the contemporary dynamics of the art market.

Her professional experience in art galleries, art fairs, and auction houses across Paris, London, and Istanbul has enabled her to develop a multifaceted perspective on the art world, encompassing both its cultural and commercial dimensions. Through her exhibition projects and curatorial work, she places particular emphasis on highlighting artists’ distinctive forms of expression, establishing conceptual and aesthetic coherence between artworks, and developing exhibition narratives that foster meaningful engagement with audiences.

At the heart of Atakan’s approach to art lies the belief that an artwork is not merely an aesthetic object, but a space of encounter capable of transforming thought, emotion, and the way individuals perceive the world. From this perspective, she explores the historical and cultural contexts of art alongside individual experience and contemporary interpretation.

Through La Reine d’Art, she aims to support the international visibility of artists, encourage dialogue between different cultures and artistic practices, and foster lasting connections between artworks and their audiences.
